The Bureau of Meteorology has issued a warning for severe thunderstorms in Goulburn, New South Wales, for the afternoon and evening of Wednesday, 25 February 2026. These storms are expected to bring heavy rain that may lead to sudden flash flooding across the region.
There is an 80% chance of rain today with a forecast maximum temperature of 30°C. Weather officials expect the storms to develop during the middle of the day, potentially creating dangerous conditions for drivers and residents in low-lying areas.
The NSW SES is advising the community to monitor the weather for damaging winds and large hail. People should secure loose items around their homes and consider moving vehicles under cover to protect them from potential storm damage.
Drivers are encouraged to avoid crossing any flooded roads and should be aware that local spots like Blackshaw Road and the Wollondilly River Walkway are often the first to close. According to a local floodplain risk management study, parts of the city are highly susceptible to rising water from nearby rivers.
While storms are predicted, the sun remains strong with an extreme UV index of 11. Sun protection is recommended until 5:00 pm for anyone spending time outdoors before the weather conditions change.
